Wampus #4: The Return

With this special issue, we commemorate the 57th anniversary of Wampus, first published in France in March 1969.

Our first story, The Pog of Montsegur, begins exactly where Strangers #13 ends, and continues with a "new" Wampus on the prowl in the South of France. This storyline continues in Death in Venice, which guest-stars the wondrous Sibilla. The Origins of Hunter, is a flashback to the events recounted in episode #3 of the original Wampus series and an origin to the heretofore mysterious character of Hunter, introduced in Strangers 2. Once Upon a time on Arena takes place a long time ago on the home planet of the Bronze Gladiator, now under attacked by Wampus.

This issue also included a series of Wampus pin-ups by Steve Bissette (Swamp Thing, Taboo, Tyrant), Wampus' co-creator, the legendary Luciano Bernasconi, and Mexican artist, Manuel Martin Peniche (Kabur, Strangers).
